The corset illustrated, is provided with an abdominal belt which, in this instance, is in two parts 20 and 21. The belt parts 20 and 21 are adapted to be secured together at the front by means of suitable securing means 22. Each of the belt portions 20 and 21 are provided with a pair of stiffening members or bones 23, disposed in the front section 241 ,A section of elastic material 25 is loops 26 may be disposed intermediate alternate loops 18 of the series of the same that are secured to the corset body. When the loops 26 are so disposed, the openings therethrough will be in Vertical alignment with the openings in the loops 18, and the stiffening member or bone 19 instead of passing through all of the loops 18 may be disposed through the alternate loops 18 and the loops 26. When the member 19 is so disposed, the belt portions 20 and21 will be secured to the corset body and at the same time the member 19 will act as stiffening means for the adjacent section of the corset body. By disposing the loops 26 of the belt portions 20 and 21 between various alternate loops 18,

the vertical disposition of the belt may be varied to suit the requirements of the user.

It will be obvious that the belt, when secured to the body portion of the corset in this manner, will be connected thereto with the necessary freedom of movement and without .unduly increasing the thickness of the garment at the point of connection. lVhile the bone which passes through the loops secures the two portions of the corset together in an effective and simple manner, at the same time by the removal of the bone, the belt portions 8 of the corset may be adjusted vertically so that the belt may be placed in any desired position. By arranging a complete series of loops on the body portion of the corset which I are closely spaced, a relatively fine adjust ment is secured, as a loop 26 may be disposed between any two of the loops 18, the former overlying one of the loops 18 as shown in Fig. 4:.

In Figs. 7 and 8 of the'drawings I have shown a somewhat modified form wherein the belt portion of the corset 20 is shown in dotted lines. In this instance, the loops 18 secured to the body portion of the corset, are

. stitched thereto as shown at 29, so that these loops will always lie upon the body of the corset and have no tendency to curl or roll up when not in use. It will be understood, of course, that when the belt portion of the corset is secured to the body portion thereof, the bone 19 only passes through every alternate loop 18, while the remainder of such loops lie below the loops on the belt portion of the corset. In some instances, therefore, it may be found desirable to stitch the loops 18 to the body of the corset so that they will always lie flatly thereagainst. In other respects the structure shown in Figs. 7 and 8 is like that shown in Figs. 1 to 6.

While the invention is illustrated and ,de-

scribed in connection with a'corset provided with stiffening bones or stays, it will be understood that it is not limited to this type of garment, but on the other hand, the improved belt securing means may be used with garments which are not provided with such stiflening means. I

While I have shown and described some preferred embodiments of my invention, it will be understood that it is not to be limited to all of the details shown, but is capable of modification and variation within the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

' 1. A corset comprising a body portion and a belt portion arranged interiorly thereof, said body portion having a series of loops arranged on the inner side thereof, and said belt portion having a series of loops arranged adjacent the end thereof designed to be at tached to thebody portion of the corset, the loops on one of said portions being spaced apart a distance less than the width of the loops on the other portion.

2. A corset comprising a body portion having a series of laterally extending loops arranged in alignment and in relatively close juxtaposition, said corset also being provided with a belt portion arranged interiorly thereof, said belt portion being provided with a plurality of'la'teral-ly extending loops having their openings in alignment, said loops being spaced aparta distance substantially equal to the width of one of the loops on the body portion, whereby the loopson the belt portion of the corset are designed to overlie alternate loops on the body portion and to have their openings in alignment with other loops on the body portion, and a bone passed through the aligned openings of the loops.

3. corset comprising a body portion having a series of laterally extending loops arranged in alignment and in relatively close juxtaposition, said corset also being provided with a belt portion arranged interiorly thereof, said belt portion being provided with a plurality of laterally extending loops having their openings in alignment, said loops being spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the width of one of the loops on the body portion whereby the loops on the belt portion of the corset are designed to overlie alternate loops on the body portion and to have their openings in alignment with other loops on the body portion, and a bone passed ionv iio

A through the aligned openingsiof the loops,

and said loops on the body of. the corset being stitched thereto at both sides to lie flatly thereagainst.

4. A corset comprising a body portion and a belt portion arranged interiorly thereof, said body portion having a series of loops arranged on the inner side thereof, and said belt portion having a series of loops arranged adjacent the end'thereof designed to be attached to the body portion of the corset, all of said loops being substantially of equal width, the loops on one of the portions of the corset being spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the width of the loops, and the loops on the other portion forming a substantially continuous tube interrupted by slits spaced apart a distance equal to the width of the loops, the loops on the first of said portions being arranged to overlie certain of the loops on the other portion and to lie between others thereof with their openings in alignment, and a securing member passed through the aligned openings.

5. A corset comprising a'body portion and a belt portion, and means for detachably connecting the belt portion to thebody portion comprising a plurality of spaced attaching loops on the belt portion, and loops on the body portion, cooperating with said firstnamed loops for securing the belt to the body in a plurality of spaced positions, the spacing of said positions being less than the spacing of said attaching loops on the belt portion.

6. A corset comprising a body portion and a belt portion, and means for detachably connecting the belt portion to the body portion comprising a plurality of spaced attaching loops on the belt portion, and loops. on the body portion cooperating with said firstnamed loops for securing the belt to the body in a plurality of spaced positions, the spacing of said positions being substantially onehalt the spacing of said attaching loops on the belt portion.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of September, 1929.
